Is associating with alleged criminals illegal in the US these days?
I'm not that up-to-date with US politics and legislation, but that
seems completely ridiculous and unlikely to me. Unless The Pirate Bay
were to be declared a terrorist organisation I guess...
(I'm not getting into an argument about whether The Pirate Bay is
illegal or not. I understand technology, not law, and anyway its
legality is unknown and spurious to my comment.)
